About me

Hello, I'm Liz!

Thank you for taking time to read about me, and my therapy approach. I earned my Master Degree in Social work with an emphasis in Mental Health in 2018 and am now a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Clients would best describe me as warm, kind, and reflective. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Treatment approaches that I find most beneficial are cognitive-behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, attachment theory, psychodynamic, mindfulness, and family therapy modalities. I find using activities to help clients gain skills in mindfulness are beneficial. This can include creative projects that are thought provoking, sometimes artistic, and most importantly increase awareness of who you are before the world got its hands on you. I will tailor our time together and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs!

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take the step, let's get started in writing a healthy and new chapter in your life.

I look forward to working with you!

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Elizabeth Malchow. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Elizabeth has been an absolute lifesaver since I started working with her. I was going through a really hard time and not eating, sleeping, or thinking very clearly, and having Elizabeth to talk to and help balance things out was vital. I've had an incredible amount of trouble finding and keeping a therapist given all my issues, and most won't work with my situation when they find out about it all, but Elizabeth took everything in stride, opened herself to understanding, and has changed things so much for the better. It's been wonderful to work with her.
